"Life is a game and we're all players. Some of them are just better than others." - S.G.

The haters, the traitors, the backstabbers and the fakers. Just get lost. I just want to say... I'm so past through with you. I'll play this game right because it's just one shot and I know I want to win it. So be gone, back off. Stop clouding up my sunshine, and dampening my parade. If you want to bring the rain, then you better make it pour, and if you want you can join me while I dance but don't even try to wash me out.
I'm reaching out and I'm reaching in, all to find what's real. To find what matters and what I need.
I don't need any haters... and you fakers? You're the worst. I know what you're doing, I see that you're lying... maybe I don't say it, but that's only because I don't want to start something. I know I've been a fool...
But no... no. I won't lie down. You can't make me. Don't walk on me... I'm no door mat.
I'm alive, so I'll be living. And that means dreaming, fighting, saving, hoping, feeling... trying.
I'll take my chances. I'll risk and I'll jump. But watch me fly... don't stick around to see if I fall or sink. I know I might... but that's not the end. I'll swim across the horizons. I'll conquer.
I'll keep being me.

Staring Into My Soul

Full blown and fortified, standing strong with hands untied
I'm back
Searching for the pieces, the answers, lost time, the people who said goodbye
My debt is infinite
Crawling, pacing, slowing spinning circles around the unavoidable
Those eyes
Staring, piercing, looking, and more than simply prying
Into my soul
Changing, destorying, recreating, transforming, mutilating
What I knew
Dying slowly as she is falling, fighting, failing, disappearing
Into it all
Turning back, I will grab and pull and reach, search and dig and find
Every bit of her
Laughing, singing, smiling, and dreaming up the world that sheltered her
The girl I knew
